*Spoilers* This book had so much potential and I LOVED Local Woman Missing, but this just fell flat for me. The twists just didn't hit like they should've. The storyline was super confusing when Part 2 rolled around. It was like the past and present were happening at the same time? What? That had me hung up thinking how it didn't make sense. The ending was she got away with it? When the dad was a high powered attorney? Where did her $10k go? So many open ended questions that didn't add up.

This was possibly one of the most ridiculous thrillers I’ve read - everything you could throw into it was in it: alcoholism, child abuse, amorality, paranoia, death of child, death of parents, kidnapping, theft, divorce, predation, serial rape, cyber crimes, impersonation, coma, gaslighting, infidelity, catfishing, revenge, false arrests, domestic violence, pedophilia, murder, revenge, sociopathy, suicide, malpractice, and the list goes on and on.

Any trigger that could’ve been dreamt up was in the story one way or another. After a while, it started getting funny, and I actually started enjoying the stupidity of it all. This might be my one and only Mary Kubica read.
